A Real Coded Genetic Algorithm for the Optimisation of Reaction Rate Parameters for Chemical Kinetic Modelling in a Perfectly Stirred Reactor

In this study we develop a real coded genetic algorithm for the determination of the chemical reaction rates parameters (A's, b's and E's in the Arrhenius expression) for the hydrogen combustion in a perfectly stirred reactor (PSR). The algorithm is tested on a hydrogen/air mixture but it can be applied for other, more complex hydrocarbon fuels.
